ETA: Sark leaving for NFL also bring Texas into play

This is assuming that Drink and Kiffin don't get poached. But obviously that could change.

If you're on this list, what is the advantage of changing this year? What's the advantage of waiting a year?

I think you could add LSU to your 2025 list. There's no way Kelly survives this season.

If for Alabama doesnt make a deep run I could see Deboer going to PSU. Tiders will eat him up if he makes early playoff exit

What if Penn State has already made their hire?

I dont think Va Tech is going to hit on their first choices and will eventually offer Beamer.

If Sellers leaves I don't see why Beamer would come back.

You might could add Oklahoma to 2026 if the offense struggles next season.

For the love of Christ, get it through your heads, BK isn’t going anywhere. Will he eventually get fired or leave, absolutely. Can he retire on his own? Possibly, but doubtful. Can LSU come up with $100 million this year to fire Bryan Kelly, no! It’s gonna take 50 million to buy him out and 50 million to hire a new coach.

As far as the difference in firing Kelly this yr be next, the difference is really only 1.5yr since the buyout only decreases a little next yr and it’s paid out over the life of the contract

You retards are as exhausting as the tards saying we’re getting Saban back. If we want him gone he’s gone. We have plenty of money

That’s the low end of the estimate:
$50M Kelly Buyout
$20M Staff
$100M to hire a big name
$20M New staff

Total = $190M to make a change in 2025.

LSU could easily win 9 games this season. I don't think you can spend $50 million to buy out a coach after an 8 or 9 win season.

Surely y'all realize this won't be paid in this or next calendar year right?

What color is the sky in YOUR world. LSU is staring down the barrel of no better than 6-6 and Western Kentucky's not a given. You truly think that LSU is going to beat Alabama, Arkansas, and Oklahoma? Your optimism borders on delusion.

I think they will beat Arkansas and Oklahoma and have a better than average chance of winning a bowl game. So 8 or 9 wins.
